OLIVIA’S PICKS
Mate the Label Organic Stretch Midi Leggings & Organic Stretch Sports Bra — I’ll probably include this brand on every gift guide. It’s my favorite for athleisure not only because they use healthier and more sustainable materials (i.e. organic cotton), but also everything I’ve bought so far has been super comfy and high quality.
All-Clad D5® 4-Qt Stainless-Steel Saucepan — If you’re looking to ditch your non-stick pans that are most likely coated in PFAs (a forever chemical) and upgrade to a healthier option, this small/medium sized pan (perfect for cooking for 1-2 people) is currently on sale. I chose this brand because it was ranked ‘best’ on this list of the safest cookware.
Saje Natural Wellness Pain Relieving Oil Blend — I’m a big fan of Saje and have tried many different products from them over the years. It feels (and smells) amazing to roll this one on my neck and shoulders at the end of a long day. P.S. If you can, go to their store in person to smell and test everything before you purchase!
Cozy Earth Rib-Knit Classic Long Sleeve Pajama Set — I (surprisingly) have yet to own anything from Cozy Earth (but trust me I’ve been seeing the ads everywhere). My mom and sister are both big fans so I’m excited to try these super cozy looking PJs for the winter.
Madewell Classic Leather Belt — I’ve found some great things at Madewell recently. A classic staple to have in your closet, this belt comes in both black and dark brown. I got size XS so I could wear it up higher on my waist too.
Levi’s 90s Trucker Jacket — It’s been awhile since I’ve bought a jean jacket, and I’ve been loving the more oversized look that you can layer over sweaters. This one from Levi’s seems like it’d be a good classic style to invest in that will last for years.
Mate the Label Organic Waffle Relaxed Jogger — Had to include another comfy set from Mate the Label! I bought these joggers had these joggers for a few months and they’re are super cozy and roomy, without being too hot, making them perfect for travel, or wearing year-round in LA.
UGG Ashton Boots — Bringing these back from our 2020 gift guide because I am still loving and wearing them 4 years later. The perfect, comfortable combat boot to elevate any fall/winter outfit. Although they aren’t fur-lined, just add a pair of wool socks and you can easily adapt them for colder climates.
Pela Case — Another favorite that makes the gift guide year after year, Pela is my go-to source for phone cases because not only do I love the plentiful design choices, but most importantly, they’re compostable. Although it’s one small thing you can do, I like not contributing to plastic waste with more phone cases that you’ll just throw away every year.
Crystal Quest Bath Filter — After investing in a shower filter this year, getting this bath filter is next on my list for ‘nice-to-have’ home improvements. If you haven’t already, look up the water quality for your zip code. I don’t take baths often, but it’d be nice to know the water I’m sitting in isn’t full of all that nasty stuff.
PAIGE’S PICKS
Glossier Perfume — I could not pick one so I liked the whole set (on sale btw). Glossier fragrances are my new favorite thing because they are light and subtle, yet my perfect everyday scent. Perfect for layering or all on its own.
Detergent Milk from Dedcool — Your favorite non-toxic perfume and make it a laundry detergent. If you’re looking to upgrade your laundry game this is the perfect gift for amazing smelling clothes and sheets. I love that the scent is not too strong and overpowering. I have the MILK perfume as well and it’s a perfect layering perfume or stand alone perfume.
INPRO Whitening Strips — a more natural option to teeth whitening with coconut oil and non-peroxide whitening. There are definitely other brands that will be more effective but this is a more natural option for people who have sensitive teeth.
SKIMS Classic Straight Leg Pant — Perfect for the tall girlies out there that have a long in-seam. These are buttery soft and my go-to comfy set right now. It comes in different colors, but I am loving the dusk pink color right now. Brb I’m ordering this set in every color.
BURST Toothbrush — Who would I be if I didn’t recommend my favorite toothbrush. This one is also at a good price point and comes in different colors. The toothbrush head is very soft, which is what I recommend but effective. You can order on Amazon or Burst’s site. I order replacement brush heads on Amazon. Love!
Cookbook Stand — Do you have any cookbooks that are sitting in a cabinet that could be better displayed on a nice cookstand stand? It is much more motivating when you see things in plain view then hidden in a cupboard. This stand can display meal ideas that can help prompt more exciting dishes in your kitchen.
Jolie Shower Head — In the theme of living a more non-toxic lifestyle, this shower head filters out the harmful elements in our water. You purchase the shower head and then replacement filters every 90 days. I like the aesthetic of this one more than others on the market, but there are others if you are looking for a lower price point. I have this one and really like it!
Barefoot Dreams Socks — In pairing with your SKIMS set, these barefoot dreams socks are so comfy you won’t want to take them off. Especially when I wake up and walk into the kitchen, wearing these socks keeps my feet warm on hardwood floors. This set comes in a three pack and is on sale. It’s also a perfect gift within a good budget that everyone will love.
